Cattle and Sheep in Fine Conditional
Favorable Winter.
Special tG the Gazette.
COLORADO, Tex, Feb. 8.-The sleet
storm Of few days ago, the only real
winter weather that has visited this Sec
ton this year, has all cleared away, and
the weather is warm and pleasant again
Stock suffered but very little, as it was in
gne condition, and the storm did not last
long enough to cause any drifting. All
the cattlemen who rendezvous here unite
IN saying that cattle were never in better
condition at this time of the year. Fat
steers will be ready for the early spring
markets, and Texas cattle will come in
for the first high prices.
The sheepmen, too, are jubilant over
their improved condition. Sheep have
wintered well, and there is an increased
demand. Sheep that three months ego
were in the market for 10 and so cents
are now held at 81 90 aud S2.75 and
holders are not at all anxious to sell.
Wool is bringing q high price, sheep are
fat, large lamb crop prospective, and in
another year you will be hearing of
"sheep kings" and 'ramionaires.

territory in question legal steps will at

CONVICTS MUTINY.
They Complain of Too Much Work and Not
Enough Food.

enough rood.
AsHvILLE, n. c., Feb. S.-A mutiny
took place yesterday at convict camp
tour miles from this city. For several
weeks these men have been FESTIVE, COM
planning of the hard work imposed on
them and the alleged lack of food. During
the week past several hardened criminals
were added to the gang, and on Saturday
night there were evidences of coming
trouble. All day Sunday the men
huddled close together and refused
to talk to the guards. When dark came
and the men were ordered to retire for
the night, forty refused to do so. Sever
al officers entered the stockade to reason
with the men, when they were met with 8
tusilade of stones which the convicts had
quietly stored away in barrels. The Off
GERS retired, closed the gates quietly, and
put on double watch for the night. The
forty rebels sat up all night, making the
night hideous with their curses. Yester-
day morning when the force was ordered
out to work, sixty answered, but forty
still refused. The guards, who
only numbered ten, fred over the heads
of the men, but cries of defiance were the
only reply, the men saying they were not
afraid of blank cartridges. The guards
discharged several yolleys directly into
the mutinous group, peppering them pro-
fusely with birdshot. This Drought them
to their senses, but secured for them
places in the hospital instead OF Oh
the road. They still declare that they
will not work.

Of Halves. in North Yorkshire, was buried.
The interment took place in the deceased gen

Of hill. MI Broderick, who believed IN The
transmigration of souls, had directed that no
minister of religion should attend his burial,
and that no religious ceremony of any KIND
should be performed over his remains. Inc
funeral. therefore, was almost Of unique
description. The procession had to pass over

the floor Of the car like a log. glance at
the bundle was sufficient to satisfy us that it
contained something more solid than letters
or papers. The sack was ripped open and out
rolled the dead body of a mana man with
red beard and heavy, shaggy eyebrows. The
body was frozen stiff, it having hung all
night from the arm Of the scatfold. There
were three bullet holes in the mans breast,
two more through his neck and one in each

mans coat was piece of brown paper, which
